Article Analytic Hierarchy Process in Determining Aircraft Basic Maintenance Training Durations(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Açıkel, Gürkan; Alemdaroğlu Temel, MinePurpose – Currently, in aircraft basic maintenance training, it is determined that various aircraft basic maintenance training organizations around the world apply different basic maintenance durations for the same modules of the same licence categories. Aircraft basic maintenance training organizations are lacking a common curriculum with standard durations for the basic maintenance training modules. To remedy the problems associated with this issue, the purpose of this study is to develop and demonstrate a quantifiable reference (i.e. theoretical training and evaluation content intensity) based scientific theoretical method to determine the durations of the basic theoretical maintenance trainings held for B1.1 and B2 licence categories in aircraft basic maintenance training organizations. Design/methodology/approach – The total basic maintenance training duration was first allocated to basic, theoretical and practical maintenance trainings. The obtained basic theoretical maintenance training duration was then allocated to related modules and submodules by using weighted theoretical training content intensity and weighted theoretical evaluation content intensity, which were obtained by applying a multi-criteria decision-making approach using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Findings – In this study, it was found that there is no standardization upon aircraft basic maintenance training organizations for the allocation of the basic maintenance training durations to modules. To remedy this problem, a scientific method, which relies on quantifiable reference bases rather than subjective reasoning, is needed. The reference bases of the proposed theoretical method (i.e. theoretical training and evaluation content intensity) can be tuned with the inclusion of the effect of basic knowledge requirements through multi-criteria decision-making (AHP). The theoretical method proposed in this work is robust in terms of resulting in close proximity values of the basic theoretical maintenance training durations for the common modules of B1.1 and B2 licence categories. The theoretical method is proven to yield greater basic theoretical maintenance training durations for modules having greater theoretical training and evaluation content intensity and lower basic theoretical maintenance training durations for modules having less theoretical training and evaluation content intensity. A distinct similarity in terms of basic theoretical maintenance training durations and the ranking of the modules (in terms of durations) is not present when the average of the training organizations is compared to the results of the theoretical method. A quantifiable reference (i.e. theoretical training and evaluation content intensity) based scientific theoretical method to determine basic theoretical maintenance training durations was developed and demonstrated. Practical implications – Results of this study would especially be useful in an international effort to standardize the different basic theoretical maintenance training durations applied in various aircraft basic maintenance training organizations. Originality/value – To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study is the first in providing and demonstrating a scientific theoretical method based on a systematic, multi-criteria decision-making approach to determine the durations of the basic theoretical maintenance trainings. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1An Undergraduate Curriculum for Deep Learning(Ieee, 2018) Tirkes, Guzin; Ekin, Cansu Cigdem; Sengul, Gokhan; Bostan, Atila; Karakaya, MuratDeep Learning (DL) is an interesting and rapidly developing field of research which has been currently utilized as a part of industry and in many disciplines to address a wide range of problems, from image classification, computer vision, video games, bioinformatics, and handwriting recognition to machine translation. The starting point of this study is the recognition of a big gap between the sector need of specialists in DL technology and the lack of sufficient education provided by the universities. Higher education institutions are the best environment to provide this expertise to the students. However, currently most universities do not provide specifically designed DL courses to their students. Thus, the main objective of this study is to design a novel curriculum including two courses to facilitate teaching and learning of DL topic. The proposed curriculum will enable students to solve real-world problems by applying DL approaches and gain necessary background to adapt their knowledge to more advanced, industry-specific fields.Article Creative Design Engineering Education for Human-Society Integrated Intelligent Systems(Sage Publications Inc, 2026) Erden, Zuhal; Erden, AbdulkadirThe essence and vital roots of scientific activities create theoretical propositions and models that provide unique integrity of the associated concepts, definitions, approaches and methodological components. Design engineering education has made great progress to date by integrating modern methods and tools into the existing process models focused on unique curriculum programs for students' progress during various scientific and technical levels. Contemporary and integrated socio-scientific environments, however, are generally more productive and initiative for future success stories of engineering graduates with high qualifications and science/technology-motivated professional life. Today's global transition from the "industrial-digital age" to the "sustainable knowledge economy and digital society" opens a new path for design engineering education, enforcing a paradigm shift towards training creative professionals who develop and implement new knowledge in real-world social environments. This paper presents and discusses the models, methods and tools to establish a road-map into next-generation creative design engineering education paradigm.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2An Undergraduate Curriculum for Deep Learning(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Tirkes,G.; Ekin,C.C.; Engul,G.; Bostan,A.; Karakaya,M.Deep Learning (DL) is an interesting and rapidly developing field of research which has been currently utilized as a part of industry and in many disciplines to address a wide range of problems, from image classification, computer vision, video games, bioinformatics, and handwriting recognition to machine translation.
